This was a girl's cruise. I came from Idaho and met up with a friend from Canada and one from Jersey.
Unfortunately, I cannot say good things about the cruise line, but I had a good time none the less, due to great friends, from before the cruise and meeting on the cruise.
Embarkment was a breeze. We all met and got there about 1:00 pm. There was more of a line than I had ...
After getting off our first cruise, which we absolutely loved, we were excited to see the sky. Pictures that we had seen of the sky looked incredible! We arrived at around 12:30, and had a pretty easy time with embarkation. We found it kinda odd that they handed us a paper to fill out about any illnesses we have had, which I guess is kinda good, but really, who would admit they were sick... The ...
Entering the facility where they check your papers, etc. was uneventful. Seemed to have an efficient staff. Upon boarding the ship we were greeted by a very friendly staff offering sparkling wine or juice. Live piano music was playing. We had thought this was going to be a most enjoyable experience. Our balcony room was very clean and cozy. We had lunch at the buffet which was mediocre and ...
My husband and I recently cruised on the NCL Sky for a 4 night trip to the Bahamas. We arrived in Miami and was on board by 3:00. I was told there would be champagne and samples of food from the specialty restaurants when we boarded. We did get the champagne but I saw no sign of sample food. Little did I know this would just be the beginning of things that should have been but weren't. First I ...
My sister(61) and I(57) fell in love with cruising four years ago. This was my 7th and my sister's 6th cruise. Previously we have sailed on Carnival because of the ports of departures and also the cost. When I spotted the deals that NCL offered I was excited to try something new.
We flew out of Tulsa via Dallas to Ft Lauderdale. Upon arrival we were greeted by NCL personal and directed to ...
I've never cruised with Norwegian before - I've always cruised with Princess. But the price was right for this 4 nights Bahamas cruise so I decided to give them a try. Embarkation was quick - less than 15 minutes from arriving at the port. Unfortunately the rest of the cruise didn't live up to the beginning.
Our balcony cabin was quite nice - no complaints about that until the first night. ...
We recently cruised NCL Sky for a quick getaway. We are three women who needed a break from our busy work schedules. I have cruised 15 times, 3 times on NCL. I am not a big fan of freestyle, and after this cruise, I definitely am not in favor of it. We arrived in Miami around 11, parked in the parking garage at the pier, checked in and were onboard the ship by 11:30...very quick and painless. We ...
This being our second cruise (our first time with NCL), I'd say we did not have high expectations for this cruise line. We chose the ship merely for it's route to the Bahamas. Unfortunately, due to Tropical Storm Hanna, our ship was re-routed, but that is not the reason for this negative review.
Beginning with the boarding process, we were able to check in a little before noon and the check ...
First of all, some background information. We went as a group of four friends on what we thought was going to be a decent last minute vacation. We had only planned this about 4 weeks prior to the sailing date but quickly learned it was the vacation from hell. For me and another person in the group it was our first cruise but for the other two they had been on many cruises. We had some issues ...
This was the maiden voyage for the renovated Norwegian Sky (Pride of Aloha) out of Miami. The embarkation/debarkation process was very smooth, compared to other cruises we've been on. We set the trip up for our 25th Anniversary with an on-line NCL Cruise Consultant. Because of the 4th of July holiday weekend, or as he claims, sick, our consultant took some time off and the price from initial quote ...
